Awesome bar staff who know what they're doing. They started happy hour at St. Marks Pl. with $4 drafts and $7 cocktails on weekdays till 8 and weekend till 5. Best place to sit outside in the area!
- @thirstyJuly 11, 2016A no-frills bar on a busy stretch of St.Marks, Bua has some of the best outdoor booths in the city. The drinks are basic but strong and it's easy to pass a entire night - or day - here.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- laurenSeptember 11, 2015One of my favorite places for a Sunday beer. Really chill spot, best seat is outside.Their happy hour from 1:00 - 5:00 PM on the weekend makes it an easy choice for day drinking.
Alex WJuly 1, 2018Great late night food and drinks. I’ve tried the grilled cheese, fish tacos, and Bua burger. All of them were better than I expected from a bar at 11pm.
First date spot for a reason. Generally buzzy and fun in here. Drinks are good and it's a solid bar option on St. Marks with outdoor tables.
Great happy hour (beer & cocktails) spot when the weather is nice - enjoy the outdoor seating, fried pickles, and the delicious fried chicken sandwich
Burger is on the small side, fried chicken sandwich on the large side. Both are equally tasty, so consider your appetite. What the kale salad lacks in healthiness it makes up for in flavor.
Our friendly neighborhood bar - home away from home! Awesomely sweet bartender, best grilled cheese sandwich and cool outdoor space. Order a red lemonade and people watch.
Monti BrayApril 7, 2015Cozy spot for a date or drinks with friends. Order the fried pickles to snack on!
$2 off beers for happy hour M-F until 8pm. Solid spot. Always busy!
AmateurConciergeAugust 6, 2015Textbook east village. Get a solid $10 cocktail, sit at an outside table and watch the village go by.
Caipirinhas or the spicy margarita. The fried chicken sandwich is out of this world. The outdoor seating is perfect for people watching.- Bua introduced me to the Modelo with hot sauce and salted rim. Grab a can and sit outside on the best street for people watching in the EV
Roberto BuaMarch 23, 2015Great bar, busy with the right crowd and amazing prices compared to other similar NYC bars. Good music too!
Darin NamkenAugust 17, 2013I'd your in East Village New York you have to stop here! Hopefully Meg will be behind the bar!! Great cocktails and neat atmosphere!- Grilled Cheese is amazing and the Red Lemonade is refreshing (I don't care how fruity it is). Also, I found ten bucks on the ground once. Probably won't happen to you, just saying keep an eye out.
Grab a pint and sit at one of the tables outside. Now, get another pint. Repeat for the rest of the day.
Melanie Loff-BirdJanuary 16, 2017As a southern girl I can say with confidence that Bua's fried chicken sandwich is one of the best I've ever tasted.
- Bring your friends and grab the outdoor tables. And do it early before everyone else gets to them!
Jeanie NguyenJuly 7, 2015Happy hour lasts until 8 and the outdoor seating can't get better on this side of Manhattan!
NetsirkMarch 18, 2019Great place to bring friends for some drinks and loud music. The fried pickles are a must!
Yurimi KangOctober 24, 2012They pour drinks with a heavy hand. Get one of their awesome sandwiches to go with your perfectly poured Guinness.
Jack GashiAugust 12, 2014Cool East Village bar with limited but prime outdoor seating. Solid date spot too
LauraSeptember 8, 2012The happy hour fresh lemonade w/ cranberry is perfect for a muggy afternoon. No AC in here, so you have to cool off somehow!- Alonso BuendiaJune 17, 2012Love the atmosphere..Great people lovely bartenders :) and the grilled cheese...did I say the grilled cheese OMG!
Connie ChiuSeptember 6, 2014Tasty cocktails though pricey. Cute spot but gets crowded so come for happy hour!
Charley ToddAugust 27, 2015Very cool design, crowd can be hit or miss but drinks they had on draught were spot on.
Lucu ChalmetonMarch 21, 2012Great bar with outside seating. Perfect place for hanging out with friends in a saturday afternoon
Nicolette RomeroOctober 10, 2014Great East Village spot. The chicken tenders here are ridiculously good.
Aditya BasuOctober 21, 2014I prefer this place on weekdays when it is not so crowded. Grilled sandwiches with your milk stout.
Generally crowded but I'm always a fan. Hit up crif dogs late at night when you're done.
Happy hour drink prices are outstanding. Gold rush for $5? Yes. Yes please. And McClure's Pickles! And the food!
JamieAugust 25, 2012Happy hour until 5 on Saturday, includes some of the specialty cocktails and draft beers, all $4 or $5
You need to try the Fried Chicken Sandwich, end of. This will seriously change your life.
